My annual rant still rings true today...
I hate Valentine's Day. I hate the aisles and aisles of pink and red fluff in every store I enter. I hate the excessive commercials full of happy, kissy-faced couples all enraptured with each other over stupid things like new cars or chewing gum or Caribbean cruises. I hate all the ads for diamonds and tacky heart-shaped jewelry. I hate the love song infestation on all the airwaves and in all the stores and restaurants. I hate how the price of roses is jacked up when the same dozen costs a third as much on any other day of the year. I hate the aisles and aisles of cards crooning about how wonderful the love of my life is. I hate that I don't have a love of my life. I hate that I have no one to buy such a card for. I hate that no one I like has ever given me such a card. I hate that the only Valentine cards I've ever received came from my reluctant elementary school classmates and were covered with happy buddy-buddy images of Garfield and Odie or Snoopy and Woodstock. I hate that I don't have a time turner like Hermione in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so I can fast forward to February 15th. I hate those heart-shaped sweetie candy things. "Be mine." "You're cute." "Kiss me." Bah-humbug!!! I want to cram a whole bag full of those candies down some little cupid's throat until he chokes and turns blue and then I can steal his bow and arrows and break them and toss the splinters into a fireplace somewhere along with all those stupid school-kid Valentines and then dance a little jig while they burn to ashes.
Most of all, I hate that I don't have any reason not to hate Valentine's Day....

well, when you cram all those candies down cupid' throat and smash his arrows, be sure to video it and post it somewhere--that would definitely be worth watching. seriously, i'm sorry that it's a rough day. it is a commercialized thing, but i just try to focus on other loves. don't know if that helps.
